R. J. Daniel, attorney-general of North Carolina and representative in Congress, and a cousin of Judge Daniel of the Superior and Supreme courts of the State. He was appointed to the United States military academy by President Polk as a cadet-at-large, and was graduated in 1851 and promoted to second lieutenant in the fall of that year. After a year or two of service at Newport barracks, Kentucky, he was ordered to New Mexico, where he served in garrison at Forts Filmore, Albuquerque and Stanton, and in skirmishes with the Indians until 1857, when he was promoted first lieutenant, Third infantry. In 1858 he resigned to take charge of his father's plantation in Louisiana. In October, 1860, he married Ellen, daughter of John J. Long, of Northampton county, N. C. When his State had decided to enter the Confederacy, Lieutenant Daniel offered his experience and soldierly ability, and upon the organization of the Fourteenth infantry regiment at Garysburg was elected colonel, and commis

cadets at large. He was compelled by severe injuries, accidently inflicted upon him while engaged in artillery practice, to interrupt his course at the Military Academy, and his course there was not completed until 1851. He graduated with highly respectable standing in deportment and scholarship, and was ordered to Newport, Kentucky, as acting assistant quartermaster. He went to New Mexico under orders the fall of 1852, and was four years stationed at Forts Albuquerque, Fillmore and Stanton, where his time was spent diligently conducting such military parties as were committed to his care, in repelling the hostile incursions made by the Indians upon the country, and forcing those wild children of the plains to recognize the authority of the Government. He took part in many skirmishes with the Indians. He sedulously studied his profession, and became familiar with Jomini and others who wrote histories of the art of war. He was good to his men then. He returned to the States

ided to their care. But as it had occurred in Texas, the soldiers and most of their officers nobly resisted the solicitations of those faithless chiefs, who failed to find among the settlers, as Twiggs had found, an armed force ready to assist them. Lieutenant-Colonel Roberts, having fathomed their schemes, encouraged and directed this opposition; and when Loring sought to lead the forces under his command into Texas, the officers stationed at Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and at Forts Craig and Stanton refused to obey him. Notwithstanding their isolated position, they thus succeeded in securing New Mexico to the Federal government. Loring and Crittenden, still trying to conceal their intentions, then took refuge in Fort Fillmore, situated at the southern extremity of that Territory, near El Paso del Norte, where they had previously massed half their troops under command of officers upon whom they could more thoroughly rely. Major Lynde, who was in command, became, either through incapac

Smith, of the Fifth Infantry, went to Chihuahua to recover a Government train, which had been stolen, and was taken a prisoner by the Texan troops. He is now at El Paso on parole. A large number of Texan troops are on their way to seize Fort Stanton and any Government property they can find. Preparations are being made to receive them at Fort Stanton, which can be defended if the Confederates have no artillery. The Federal pickets are out in every direction. It was reported at Fort Stanton, which can be defended if the Confederates have no artillery. The Federal pickets are out in every direction. It was reported at Santa Fe that the regulars have been ordered home. If so, the Territory is virtually abandoned to the South. Fort Fillmore is now garrisoned by thirteen companies of regulars, including three of dragoons. They are under marching orders as soon as the volunteers can relieve them. The Apache Indians are troublesome. They killed the driver of the overland mail coach, but were finally repulsed.

The Texans retained their arms and the horses belonging to the companies of mounted rifles. Gen. W. Petham, formerly Surveyor-General of New Mexico, and Col. Clements, were arrested in Santa Fe and confined in the guard-house, by order of Col. Canby, commander of the Department of New Mexico. They were suspected of giving improper information to the Texan troops. At Fort Bliss, below El Paso, Col. Clements took the oath of allegiance and was discharged. Gen. Petham refused to take the oath, and is still confined in the guard-house. The Hon. Mr. Otero, of Albuquerque, has been selected to head a regiment of New Mexican volunteers that is to be raised in the territory. Col. Canby has, by proclamation, suspended the writ of habeas corpus in New Mexico. Fort Stanton has been abandoned by the U. S. troops and destroyed by by order of Col. Canby. New Mexico has been visited lately with very heavy rains, which have done considerable damage to property.

xpress reached them at dark on the 6th, and in one hour and a half they had destroyed all their wagons, (forty in number,) all stores, and every sort of property, and were mounted and in full retreat over the mountains to Fort Craig. Before the condition of affairs could be known by our scouts, and expressed to the command at Picacho, they had many hours the start, and it was useless to follow them. An express arrived on the 8th, bringing the intelligence of the hasty abandonment of Fort Stanton by the United States troops. This occurred shortly after the surrender of San Augustine; two fugitives from Lynde's command fled to this post and gave information of that affair. The garrison was panic stricken, and, supposing the whole Confederate forces would be down upon them, immediately evacuated the fort. They set fire to the fort in several places before they left. Forty Arizonians, under the command of Capt. Hare, immediately took possession in the name of the Confederacy,

any Missourians stopping in the city are taking measures to send assistance to their far-off home. It is said that arrangements have been made for transportation of 4,000 equipments and about 8,000 muskets to Missouri immediately from this city. From the far West we hear a great many rumors about the threatened invasion of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona by rebel troops from Texas. Forts McLane and Fillmore have been destroyed, and the U. S. troops removed to Forts Craig and Stanton. There had been conflicting reports of engagements at Mesilla and Los Cruces, in which no reliance could be placed. At last accounts matters were quiet at For Fauntlerey, New Mexico, though it was impossible to anticipate what new hostile movements a day might bring forth.

that Major Waller will also go to Pino Alto with a command of eighty men. He will be accompanied by about the same number of citizens of Mesilla, under the command of Captain Anastacid Barela. Kiowas Massacre Three Men.--We have received from Capt. Walker particulars of the late massacre of three of his company by the Kiowa. Indians. A spy party of four men were sent out on 2d September. On the 3d, while at dinner near the fork of the Albuquerque and Fort Union roads, 86 miles from Fort Stanton, they were suddenly surrounded by 30 or 40 Indians, supposed to be Kiowas, After four hours hard fighting, three or the Americans were killed, and the fourth, Sergeant T. A. Saunders, succeeded in making his escape, having a very fast horse. The names of those killed are Jas. Emmencher, Jas. Mosses, and T. C. Pemberton, all of Lavaca county, Texas.

Kansas City, Dec. 17. --The Santa Fe and Canon City mail, with dates to the 2d inst., arrived here on Sunday morning. One hundred and fifty militia, called for by Gov. Connelly, from the second division, Major- Gen. Hovey, have been organized, and one company mustered into service. This mail brings intelligence of a horrible massacre at Fort Stanton. On the approach of the Texans to that post in the summer all the citizens in the vicinity fled to the settlements, leaving their homes, their crops, and everything else behind. After the Texans abandoned the place the Apache Indians took possession, and had command of all the country around, in the fall a party numbering twenty men determined to revisit the neighborhood and obtain what they could of their remaining crops, when the whole number fell into the hands of the savages and wer
